Story 263 Part One Background Notes.

Index of Letters                      Return to Story 263 Part One.


Kia ora.
       My name is Allan snr.

            Kim and I were given another of those virgin stories where a young girl/woman from India was given permission by her parents, to find someone to help take her virginity and prepare herself for the sex parties in New Zealand. Yes, I know this is a rather unlikely thing to happen but then lots of our stories are a bit unusual. When it was decided to drop the new series Letters - The Next Generation, we decided to use some stories to introduce these children, now older teens or young adults, into the Letters stories.
            Meet Riya, the heroine and storyteller of this two-part story. She is keen on the idea and excited by it but coming from small-town India she had never believed anything like this could happen, having grown up with the belief that she would remain a virgin until she was married. Suddenly, her whole world was turned upside down (her words, not mine) when her parents told her to go find a man from among their friends. Even more of a shock was when she discovered that their friends all knew about it since the idea had been discussed at a Nude Weekend in India. Riya has not appeared in many stories, having been kept below the horizon most of the time. About the only one I can remember is (Story 215 Greasy Pole.) where Riya has a fighting match with Kathy while standing on a greasy pole placed across the swimming pool.
            Riya was having problems with her parents, well so she said but the truth was more they were having problems with her. Like many teens, she was rebelling, pushing the boundaries and fighting with her mother, causing problems with her siblings. In the end, her mother had enough, become so annoyed she cancelled Riya going on this trip. It was only some last-minute intervention by a couple of the men, including Sarvesh, that saved her. Otherwise, she would have been stuck in India, staying with an Uncle and Aunty while everyone else went on this fun trip to Australia and New Zealand.
            I asked my son, Allan jr to help in his (Story 261 Leaving India.) by having Riya stay in the same hotel room with Hamza and Kalki during their stopover in Singapore. He did exactly what I asked, showing a closeness between Riya and this couple. Also showing she was a bit cheeky and fun to be with. I also wanted it mentioned there were some of the problems between Riya and her parents so that theme could be extended into our story here.
            Finally, I want to mention my co-authors who did a great job with this story. Of course, you know Kim would be involved but Anne was too. Both these women are good writers and fun to work with. They perhaps contributed more in Part Two than in this, Part One. But here, Kim did a lot with Riya's attitude towards her parents with sly, almost sarcastic comments woven into our writing. Really gave this young woman some attitude.
            Anne helped with advice on the travelling parts of this story and also wrote most of that bikini scene. Girls in bikinis? Looks like my son might have had a hand in that too. In the next part, both girls had a lot of input on the many sex scenes but that is for next week.

            Kia Kaka - Kia Kaha.
                  Be safe - Be strong.
                        Kim, Anne and Allan snr.

    1. An insight into the writing process. How you work together to develop themes and in this case a character of Riya.
      You and Kim make a good writing team, Allan. There seems to be more to your stories. You mix sex, humour and human interest very well.
